Fuel tap
Hi,
The OH's NC£0 has been having a few probs of late cutting out randomly.
The mechanic thinks to do with the fuel tap as we had a new patent diamphragm fitted which is not sealing properly thus starving the bike of fuel - we got the diaphragm from a specialist carb place but when we received this kit the actual kit was slightly different to the one removed - however the part we needed seemed ok and was fine up until recently.
A new fuel tap is pricey so does anyone esle know where else we can get the bits to get this fixed once and for all?
Thanks

Re: Fuel tap
you can remove the fuel tap vacuum setup all together if your a little technically minded.
removes the need for having a vacuum line, but takes away its advantage as a safety feature.
heres a link, have a gander for yourself my friend :)

Re: Fuel tap
The HRC tap mod is not a good idea for a road bike.
The genuine Honda tap rebuild kit (that`s the one with the parts which actually fit) is £34 and I have them in stock...

Thanks for the link - I have seen this pop up a few times on various google searches but share the same concerns as RickOliver re doing this on a road bike.Danzio wrote:you can remove the fuel tap vacuum setup all together if your a little technically minded.

Thanks for this - I am looking to pick up a second hand fuel tap but if I need a repair kit i'll be sure to let you know - when we originally repaired the diamphragm Honda said they didnt do repair kits!RickOliver wrote:The HRC tap mod is not a good idea for a road bike.
